Into the Abstract: Feelings in Palimpsest Ink Painting

  • Cass Art Islington 66-67 Colebrooke Row London, England, N1 8AB United Kingdom (map)

OVERVIEW

The 4th workshop in the Into the Abstract series where participants learned how to depict feelings in abstract form.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Taking humans as a subject, the program focuses on both physical and subconscious aspects of human nature. Covering topics of Body, Face, Memory and Feelings, each workshop is built to gradually depart from the figurative depiction and develop skills in an abstract interpretation of people using Elena Shkvarkina's signature experimental techniques, Palimpsest Ink Painting (the art of superimposed ink layers) and Particle Ink (unique modified formula of ink).
